The Clifton Hotel, St John's Wood

Great pub- good atmosphere, good menu, friendly staff. Warm and welcoming and highly reccommended.

The Salt House, St John's Wood

So overpriced and rude staff. Snooty is the right word- they have no idea about how to run a good pub. Shame because it's a pretty pub but I live on the same street and I will avoid it at all costs. If you're in the area try The Clifton instead- 1005 better!

The Lord Stanley, Camden

Dropped in here on Saturday afternoon on the recommendation of Time Out- what an utter disappointment. This place completely lacked charm- you could see that it may have once had it but the only vibe I got was one of pretence and designs far above its station. The food was obscenely overpriced; the staff spent more time outside smoking ciggies than serving at the bar- I waited patiently for 5 minutes while the chef looked at me but did not draw my presence to the attention to anyone of the tree bar staff out for a ciggie! It was just one of those boring pubs that was probably once good but has been ruined by its Gastro designs...avoid!
